Simon Rattle conducts the celebrated Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra as they perform two pieces central to their repertoire. The first. Brahms's Symphony No 3 in F, was inspired by the composer's trip to the Rhine in 1883. The second is Shostakovich's Symphony No 10 in E minor, which was written just months after the death of Stalin. Charles Hazlewood presents.
